Numerical research on the health effects of air pollution has been published in the last decade. Epidemiological studies have shown that children's exposure to air pollutants during fetal development and early postnatal life is associated with many types of health problems including abnormal development (low birth weight [LBW], very low birth weight [VLBW], preterm birth [PTB], intrauterine growth restriction [IUGR], congenital defects, and intrauterine and infant mortality), decreased lung…

Detrimental effects of tobacco smoke exposure during development on postnatal lung function and asthma.
TLDR
Evidence that avoidance of ETS exposure both before and after birth is beneficial to long-term respiratory health is provided, because airway function in later life is believed to be largely determined by lung development occurring in utero and in early infancy.
Air pollutants and early origins of respiratory diseases
Environmental Pollution and the Developing Lung
TLDR
Environmental air pollutants contribute to childhood origins of chronic obstructive lung disease by changing the capacity for normal lung development and repair, by promoting early lung inflammation that increases the susceptibility to pollution-triggered symptomatic lung disease in adulthood, and by limiting thecapacity for later adaptive/repair responses to environmental and infectious insults.
Preterm birth and exposure to air pollutants during pregnancy.
Air Pollution Exposure During Pregnancy and Reproductive Outcomes
TLDR
Several outcomes have been related to exposure to air pollution during pregnancy, including low birth weight, reduced birth size, fetal growth retardation, pre-term birth, stillbirth, congenital malformations, and infant mortality.
Ambient air pollution and congenital heart disease: a register-based study.
Exposure to Moderate Air Pollution during Late Pregnancy and Cord Blood Cytokine Secretion in Healthy Neonates
TLDR
The results suggest that even naturally occurring prenatal exposure to moderate amounts of indoor and outdoor air pollution may lead to changes in cord blood cytokine levels in a population based cohort.
Sex-specific differences in fetal growth in newborns exposed prenatally to traffic-related air pollution in the PELAGIE mother-child cohort (Brittany, France).
Effect of Early Life Exposure to Air Pollution on Development of Childhood Asthma
TLDR
A statistically significantly increased risk of asthma diagnosis with increased early life exposure to CO, NO, NO2, PM10, SO2, and black carbon is observed and the hypothesis that early childhood exposure to air pollutants plays a role in development of asthma is supported.

Birth Outcomes and Prenatal Exposure to Ozone, Carbon Monoxide, and Particulate Matter: Results from the Children’s Health Study
TLDR
O3 Exposure during the second and third trimesters and CO exposure during the first trimester were associated with reduced birth weight, and first-trimester CO and third- Trimester O3 exposures were associatedwith 20% increased risk of intrauterine growth retardation.

TLDR
Indirect impact of particles or other associated air pollutants on fetal growth in early gestation is compatible with a current hypothesis of IUGR pathogenesis.

TLDR
Low gestational age accounted for the association between SO(2) and low birth weight and IUGR was not associated with any pollutant, providing further support for the hypothesis that air pollution can affect the outcome of pregnancy.

TLDR
To understand the heath outcomes of exposure to a variety of environmental factors in the respiratory system of children requires careful consideration that lung development is a multistep process and cannot be based on studies in adults.
Effect of Air Pollution on Preterm Birth Among Children Born in Southern California Between 1989 and 1993
TLDR
Exposure to increased levels of ambient PM10 and possibly CO during pregnancy may contribute to the occurrence of preterm births in Southern California.
Relation between ambient air quality and selected birth defects, seven county study, Texas, 1997-2000.
TLDR
Suggestive results support a previously reported finding of an association between ozone exposure and pulmonary artery and valve defects and evidence that air pollution exposure influences the risk of oral clefts was limited.
A Time Series Analysis of Air Pollution and Preterm Birth in Pennsylvania, 1997–2001
TLDR
Evidence of an increase in preterm birth risk with exposure to PM10 and SO2 is provided, which is consistent with prior investigations of spatial contrasts and eliminates potential confounding by individual risk factors.
Is Air Pollution a Risk Factor for Low Birth Weight in Seoul?
TLDR
Carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and total suspended particle concentrations in the first trimester of pregnancy period are risk factors for low birth weight.
